Mia glanced at the person on the screen. Without answering the woman, she turned off the laptop.
After all, there was no need for Mia to explain anything.
After Mia turned off the laptop assertively, she turned around and looked at Timothy. He did not say a word but started eating.
Soon, Heath received a call. He left the ward and said to the woman on the other side of the phone, "She's Mr. Barrett's ex-wife. You'd better not mess with her."
While Timothy was eating, Mia finished reading the proposal in her hand.
She had to admit that the document was very valuable.
Mia was about to leave the ward when Timothy almost finished eating, but his voice sounded behind her. "What did you say when you met her at the cafe earlier?"
"Did you follow me?"
"I followed her, to be exact. After all, the Hopkins are not good people."
Mia totally agreed with that.
She paused briefly before she said, "Grandma Laura asked me to talk to her because she doesn't agree with you about giving her all the shares."
"Did Grandma ask you to bring the will and divorce agreement along?" Timothy asked.
"How did you know that?"
Suddenly, Mia felt curious about Timothy. He knew everything, but he chose to endure it alone.
Mia took a deep breath. "I also think that giving Mrs. Barrett shares will do her no good."
Having said that, Mia left the ward, but her mood did not improve.
She relayed to Laura, and the latter said nonchalantly, "Don't take what she said to heart. Someone like her would have been kicked out of the family if Timothy had not been soft-hearted. She wouldn't even have had the chance to threaten him."
Thinking of the way Sharon scolded Timothy, Mia sympathized with Timothy suddenly.
Everyone said that Timothy was merciless, but she knew that he was actually a man of principles. At least, he was a lot better than those seemingly righteous people who backstabbed others at critical moments.
